La Montecarlo

Name: La Montecarlo
Address: Rome
Price range: €2 - €25

Don't think you're on the French Riviera. Perhaps this place doesn't even resemble typical Roman inns. Certainly, the entrance doesn't evoke the austerity or classicism of the prestigious palaces of Roman princely nobility, let's leave it at that, because we could go on for chapters and chapters. Welcome to the kingdom of pizza: "La Montecarlo"! It will only take you a few minutes to understand what an extraordinary place you are in. You have entered an authentic slice of Rome, where trying is allowed, tasting is mandatory. The magic of pizza, its aroma, its fragrance, its unique flavor, will begin to pervade your body. Don't be shy: "IF YOU WANT A PIZZA, SAY SO!" Become a friend of La Montecarlo. You will discover a genuine, friendly, authentic world. Full of colors and music (that of flavors, not that of notes, this time). Vicolo Savelli is small and perhaps even narrow, it can be intimidating... But if you enter it, it's a revelation! In fact, you are already there! Welcome
